BÉYÓNCÉ ordered H&M chiefs to ditch photos of her modelling their bikinis — after they SHRANK her famous curves.
The Bootylicious star was outraged to find she had been retouched in shots for an advertising campaign — and insisted only natural pictures could be used.
An insider revealed last night: “When Beyonce found out they had edited the way her body really looked, she hit the roof.
“She’s a true diva and was furious that she had been given such a snubbing. Her people refused to give the pictures the green light so H&M were forced to use the originals.”
The retailer announced earlier this year that the voluptuous US singer, 31, would be the face of its 2013 summer collection. She has since appeared in its bikini and beachwear ads worldwide.
An H&M spokesman admitted that there had been “discussions” about the photos — and confirmed the final published pictures were not doctored.
He added: “As with all campaigns there are discussions on which images should be used. Both H&M and Beyonce are very happy with the final result.”

Well that was her publicist. So it could have come from Beyonce, or not.
And there's a large difference between you making crazy faces and your body being manipulated, especially when you're Beyonce and you're known for your curves.
It's clear Beyonce only wants to show the world an idealized vision of herself, and that she's embarrassed by her own fans and the media taking pictures of her.
She seems very controlling and hard to work with based on all these stories about her.
lol ya.
What a rude person she is. She should just let those retouchers do their jobs and distort the way she looks so that millions of people will think she's thinner than she is, and if that goes against her message of positive body image, so what.

Nope.
Fact #1 - Beyonce's publicist asked for very unflattering pics from the Super Bowl (2013) to be taken down
Fact #2 - Much like that I Am ... Tour (2010), photography has been banned for the Mrs. Carter Show World Tour.
Assumption - These two things are related.
Just because you post an article saying that assumption doesn't make it true. Their source is another article that also makes the assumption. Why can't you just be positive about it?

Nice try though.
Beyonce wears weave and lightens her skin with makeup, distorting the way she looks so that millions of people will think she has lighter skin & prettier hair than she does.

Not really though. If she wanted to do that she would have left the edited picture up there. I'm pretty sure most girls(at least by what is considered the norm)would rather not have curves over having them. So I'm pretty sure by not letting those "less flattering" pictures of herself go up, she's not creating an idealized version of herself. She would in fact be doing the exact opposite.

Your logic is extremely flawed
Uh, every celebrity distorts the way they look in some way or another. It's not uncommon. But Beyonce has always been pretty fair skinned except for some more tanned parts of her life. I agree about the hair and even the makeup sometimes, but those are things that we as humans have the options of changing from day to day. You can't be like "today I want smaller hips."
for Beyonce not wanting photoshopped pics.
